Appendices B and C of the Vermont Air Pollution Control Regulations list the regulated Hazardous Air Contaminants (HACs) in Vermont. In accordance with 5-261(6) of the Vermont Air Pollution Control Regulations, the Secretary may add additional chemicals or compounds to the list of regulated HACs, if appropriate, provided sufficient health data are available. Further, if additional scientific data becomes available that warrants adjusting an existing standard, including default values, for a HAC listed in Appendices B and C, the Secretary may on a case-by-case basis adjust the standard for the chemical or compound.
All additions of a new chemical or compound or revisions to an existing chemical or compound are open for public comment for a period of thirty days from the date proposed. Comments may be submitted to:
